| Tulsa Rally Jabin Botsford/Washington Post |
About 6,300 people showed up to a venue with a capacity of 19,000. Inside. No one was outside.
The Blame Game is stupendous. It's HUGE. They (as in the ubiquitous They) blamed the lame-stream media for blowing the corona virus risk outta proportion. They blamed Tik-Tok-using-teenagers for a campaign to register to buy out the house. They even tried to blame radical left-wing protesters and that mystical non-existent organization Antifa for scaring people away. Tulsa police confirmed the protests were very peaceful:

There were large groups of protesters in downtown Tulsa near the site of the rally, police said, but they were demonstrating peacefully.
"There are multiple groups of demonstrators with varying viewpoints in the area adjacent to the rally," the Tulsa Police Department tweeted. "Overwhelmingly these encounters have been peaceful with everyone attempting to share their views." CNN - 10:53 PM ET, Sat June 20, 2020
Yeah, I can see why so many Magaites were scared off. Nothing like the sharing of opinions to make one quake in one's boots.
So many orange herrings, so little space.
The lies are not without purpose, but they are getting deeper and more threatening these days. He still acts as if COVID-19 will simply waft away. The election is in his crosshairs and not as a mere candidate. His attack on mail-in ballots stymies me: HE votes by mail. What is he afraid of? Whoa, that's a very easy question to answer: a paper trail.
Paper ballots are pretty much known to be the safest, most accurate way to vote. Paper trails can be followed. Yeah, you can stuff ballot boxes or hide them, but overall, when push comes to counting a shove, paper can be counted. Multiple times, if necessary. But they can't be hacked. These days, that's sayin' something. The Great Orange Herring is sowing seeds of doubt and distrust wherever he can. He knows every seed will not germinate into civil war, but he's hoping enough will grow up to arm his cabal well enough to begin an insurrection. I am not alone thinking this. Read any number of essays and analysis of what is quietly happening.
Meanwhile, back at the vanity press, John Bolton, the guy I once hoped would be the grown-up in the room, has a book being released tomorrow, Tuesday, when most of you will read this. The Room Where It Happened is causing quite the stir. The Great Orange Herring calls it both lies AND classified. Hmmmm. What to think? What to think? I can't decide which pisses me off more: that Bolton's making a quick buck offa this, or that he's a total douche-bag because he refused to testify at the impeachment. It woulda dampened the enthusiasm for this big spilling of hotsy-totsy secrets, I suppose. Instead, he left Feckless Leader in office with a price yet to be determined. Oh, wait. The list price is $32.50. He is just as big a media whore as the rest of them. If he really cared about the trumpster fire he was fanning, he should've testified as a patriot...which clearly he is not. Nope; he's a profiteer.
Were we expecting something else from a person who served at the pleasure of the Great Orange Herring?
Everyone is out for a buck. No one in office seriously gives a shit about this country. Everyone has an agenda and none of them are for the betterment of We, the People. What makes it all worse is that every elected official in this country sees that fat fuck profiting off the presidency like the whore that he is. From charging the Secret Service exorbitant prices at his hotels to making deals with China and Russia that directly enrich his bottom line, he has made emoluments okay. And every elected official wants a piece of that orange cream pie.
This is no honor left in governing.
If you need living, breathing proof, the Minnesota Legislature can provide that for you. After the explosion following the death of George Floyd, Governor Walz called for a special session to deal with the state's part in setting parameters for police reform, something that has to be done so the municipalities can proceed with changes, and came out with NOTHING. Those sorry sacks of feces sitting in the state house accomplished nothing. The GOP blocked every proposal, used poison pills to prevent votes, and the DFL did nothing to get them to the table to hash it out. Here we are, the epicenter of this growing international movement of change, and our own legislature cannot manage to set an example for the nation, much less the world. NO. Those selfish, self-serving assholes blew the greatest opportunity to showcase democracy-in-action responding to the call of We, the People, because they could not pull their collective heads outta their asses to do it. FIRE 'EM ALL! They are, without exception, total embarrassments to the State of Minnesota.
For the record, I'm beginning to have a better understanding how the Great Orange Herring Playbook works. Anyone can do it; it just takes a little practice. There's even an instructional video:

Only problem is that the Great Orange Herring is doing it in real time with our very real nation but he isn't nearly as darling, beloved, or talented as Charles Durning. Hell, Feckless can't even walk down a ramp without looking like an alter cocker...but that does not make him any less dangerous.
The Wifely Person's Tip o'the Week
Keep your eyes on the Israeli government for the next few weeks.
The attempt to annex parts of the West Bank
is going to yield a shit-storm of major proportions...
and it's gonna be led by Israelis.
"... Governor Walz called for a special session to deal with the state end of police reform..." & that's exactly what y'all got: the state's end of police reform. So it goes.
ReplyDeleteGood comment. I think I'll go fix that sentence. Thanks!
